Toolio AI Retail Planning Platform

Description

Toolio is a cloud-based retail merchandise planning platform designed to transform gut-feel buying into data-backed decisions. It integrates AI directly into the merchandise planning workflow, offering a retail intelligence layer, explainable core AI forecasting models, reusable Skills, and autonomous Agents. These components are connected through the Toolio MCP Server and the Tooli planning assistant.

Toolio's AI is structured in four layers: the Intelligence layer, which serves as the retail foundation; Core AI, which powers forecasting and optimization; Skills, which are purpose-built playbooks; and Agents, which autonomously run planning tasks. The platform's tournament forecasting feature allows multiple models to run simultaneously, selecting the most accurate one for each product or category.

Toolio's AI capabilities are included in the modules you license, not as separate line items. The platform supports merchandise financial planning, assortment planning, and allocation management, with features like confidence scoring, automated store clustering, and price elasticity analysis. It integrates with ERP, POS, and e-commerce systems, providing a unified source of truth for retail operations.

Toolio ensures data security with SOC 2 Type 2 certification and compliance with GDPR and CCPA. Data is encrypted and tenant-isolated, ensuring customer data is not used to train models for other customers. The platform is designed to keep planners in control, allowing them to inspect, adjust, and override AI-generated forecasts and recommendations.

Toolio is suitable for retailers looking to optimize inventory management and make data-driven decisions. It offers real-time insights and streamlines workflows, helping teams focus on strategic decisions rather than manual processes. The platform is backed by a team of retail industry experts and supported by top VCs and angel investors.
